Hi All Can anyone explain why a machine on 10.0.0.10/24 would try and communicate with another machine 10.0.0.4/24 via a router?

Port 158 and 159 apparently belong to BackupExec/NetBackup. 10.0.0.10 is our backup server, but why does it try and talk to 10.0.0.4 via the default router? -- -- Raymond Leach <raymondl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Network Support Specialist http://www.knowledgefactory.co.za "lynx -source http://www.rchq.co.za/raymondl.asc | gpg --import" Key fingerprint = 7209 A695 9EE0 E971 A9AD 00EE 8757 EE47 F06F FB28 --
